One afternoon while lying head-to-toe Beneath your bay window I was wondering if you'd ever let me down See, like the wires hung from the hydro poles I need your loving hold Every now and then to keep me off the ground But, in sad irony I couldn't let myself be seen And lost my sensitivity To feel the fabric of your sweater sleeves Or smell the autumn leaves From the window wide beside your bed, well These were the things which meant the world to me But I just couldn't see How we take for granted most the things we need But, much to my chagrin I began to thaw within And I saw just how cold I'd been It's not because you couldn't give me love But 'cause I couldn't receive It's not because I never told you, love But you could never believe You could never believe You could never believe You could never believe
